North Berwick Lifeboat Station is located on Victoria Road, in North Berwick, a seaside town and former royal burgh, on the south side of the Firth of Forth, 20 miles (32 km) east of Edinburgh .

[1] The RNLI first allotted a lifeboat to North Berwick in 1867, in response to the nearby shipwreck of the schooner Bubona the year before.

At the same time, viewers of the BBC children's television programme Blue Peter funded the purchase of four D-class (RFD PB16) lifeboats, with one being assigned to North Berwick, the Blue Peter III (D-112).

[4] The re-opened station initially operated out of the lower Granary store (now owned by East Lothian Yacht Club).

[6] In the last 100 years the station's rescue crews have received three RNLI awards for gallantry and three Blue Peter gold badges.
